Bug#247371: i386: can't install 686 kernel with official CD 1 since there are no 2.4-686 packages
Package: base-installer
Severity: normal
Hi,
today, I tried to install beta4 via full CD 1 :
$ cat .disk/info
Debian GNU/Linux testing "Sarge" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20040501)
I have a bi-celeron, and kernel which was installed is 2.4.25-1-386.
This is because on cd1, there are only these kernels :
$ find . -iname "*kernel-image*"
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-586tsc_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-686_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-686-smp_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-k6_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-k7_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.25-i386/kernel-image-2.4.25-1-k7-smp_2.4.25-3_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-386_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-586tsc_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686-smp_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k6_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.4.26-i386/kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7-smp_2.4.26-1_i386.deb
./kernel-image-2.6.3-i386
./kernel-image-2.6.3-i386/kernel-image-2.6.3-1-386_2.6.3-2_i386.deb
So, current code tries to install kernel-image-2.4-686, but there is no
such kernel.
PS : it doesn't detect smp system, because dmesg was filled by hdb
errors. Maybe it should grep in /var/log/syslog instead of using dmesg.
Thanks !
